Political Dig

Just when you thought president Trump would be done with nonsensical remarks for the day, he blurs out another ludicrous claim: “I’m a very intelligent person,” Trump said Wednesday, citing his Ivy League education as proof he’s a civil person.

Asked by MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson whether he should behave as a more civil leader, the president took the opportunity to brag about his about his unparalleled intellect, touting his “Ivy League education” as proof he’s a civil person, and blaming the media for their “lack of understanding.”

“I think the press makes me more uncivil than I am,” Trump said. “You know people don’t understand. I went to an Ivy League college. I was a nice student, I did very well.”

“I’m a very intelligent person,” he continued. “I really believe, I think the press creates a different image of Donald Trump than the real person.”

As expected, the Internet had to issue a response, and people didn’t hold back.

For those who can’t afford an Ivy League education just remember, mo EG can’t buy you a heart or class https://t.co/3isjWdkZ29

Wait, #MAGA alert! An Ivy League college, you say? I thought that makes him one of the dreaded “East Coast Elite”, who I’ve been told are “as bad as ISIS.” I guess that’s any Ivy Leaguer who’s not him, then? https://t.co/tXtabiX55D
